Yep, that is what I meant. If you want it completely factory, you have to mount the compressor on the right side of the engine. Otherwise, you get to have custom hoses made...not a huge deal for sure.

Forget all that other stuff. How much for the battery tray? In my opinion you are buying stuff off that parts truck that you will not end up using. Maybe some items can be flushed out, but you can buy all new (aftermarket) stuff for about $550.
